Hyderabad,18th December 2023...Today’s SMEs are tomorrow’s MNCs. SMEs are the lifeline of the Indian economy. But, SMEs are low in capital. SMEs are mostly privately held, and funded by family or private investors. They can get funds from the public by going public. However, awareness about SME IPOs is very low among SMEs. In light of the background, FTCCI organised a SME IPO Conclave at Hotel Hyatt, Gachibowli on Saturday evening.

Similar to regular Initial Public Offering (IPO), SME IPOs are IPOs issued by Small and Medium Enterprises.

Giving his opening remarks, Meela Jayadev, President of FTCCI said, it’s essential to reflect on the remarkable journey of SME IPOs post its launch in 2012. The statistics reveal that over 850 SME companies have been listed on both NSE & BSE. It is learnt that around 139 SMEs have been listed and raised nearly Rs 3,500 crore in 2023 alone. Alongside these, we have also witnessed that several SMEs have also created wealth for investors with good listing gains on getting listed.

It is heartening to know that regulatory bodies, including SEBI and Exchanges, are closely working with market intermediaries, industry associations like us and various state governments to identify more eligible SMEs to get listed and ensure fair practices to protect the interests of investors, Jayadev said.

Despite the remarkable success of SME IPOs in the country, it’s surprising to know that just over 15 companies from Telangana have been listed so far. Recognizing this, the main goal of our Conclave is to empower SMEs in Hyderabad to go public. Our mission is to provide them with the knowledge, insights, resources, and support they need to succeed in the capital markets.

When the Indian economy provides us with such a good environment, we should come forward and take on the challenges. I would also urge the new and dynamic government of Telangana to assist with listing and raising money in SME stock exchanges as in the case of other states. One of the states is currently giving a maximum subsidy of ₹30 lakhs as assistance for listing and raising money for SMEs through stock exchanges

Mr. Krishna Kumar Maheshwari, Chair, Capital Markets & Investors Protection Committee, FTCCI gave his opening remarks and said SME IPOs are shining. They have outperformed main board companies in terms of listings. Nearly 169 SMEs have come out with IPOs in the year 2023. India’s rapid economic growth continued in the year 2023. The economy grew at a pace of 7.6% in the year 2023. As the Indian economy is doing well, the IPO market continues to raise capital. The best time to go public is now. The Indian capital market is very much matured. Startups are also doing well and also raising capital, he added

Mr. Brijesh Parekh, Director, Unistone Capital Private Limited said India has huge potential. India has reportedly reached a historic milestone; its GDP surpassed the $ 4 trillion mark. Entrepreneurs need capital either debt or equity. This is a good time to go public, he told 150 SME founders in the audience.

Dr. Faruk G Patel Chairman & Managing Director, KP Group gave successful examples of how few SMEs have created history by going public and are now performing well. Jungle Mein Mor Nacha Kisne Dekhawho (who saw the peacock dancing in the forest?). As a company you may do well, but how many notice? SME IPO is a platform. Once it is listed, your enterprise will hog the limelight and get noticed, he said.

Two-panel discussions were held and moderated by Mr Krishna Kumar Maheshwari, Chair, Capital Markets & Investors Protection Committee, FTCCI and Mr PS Rao, MD, P.S.Rao & Associates.

The panellists of the first panel were Mr. Brijesh Parekh, Director, Unistone Capital Private Limited; Mr Jayesh Taori, Associate Vice President, NSE; and Mr. B.V. Hari Prasad, CEO, Wise Money. They discussed the Myths and Realities of SME IPO. SME IPOs are a good choice for small businesses. SMEs play a vital role in the economy. They are the silent drivers of the economy. But the biggest challenge they face is access to capital. That is why there are separate exchanges for SMEs. Nearly 20 countries operate separate SME bourses. BSE and NSEs have their platforms in place for SMEs. BSE and NSE provide listing opportunities to Indian SMEs. Listing raises SME’s public profile

The panellists of the second panel were Dr Faruk G Patel Chairman and Managing Director, KP Group; Dr Raghavendra Rao Bondada, Managing Director, of Bondada Engineering Limited and Mr. Narayandas Rathi, Managing Director, Srivari Spices and Foods Limited. The panel discussed the Challenges and Opportunities of SME IPOs. During the panel discussion, PS Rao observed that the Indian Economy meant SMEs.

The panellists observed that SME IPOs were gaining traction in India with more and more SME entrepreneurs going public. However, there were significant challenges such as compliance with necessary regulatory norms, procedures, and exchange rules & regulations. The other challenges include attracting investors’ demand, and inadequate funds to manage the IPO cost and expenses are the other critical challenges SMEs face.

Beyond courtroom dynamics, a BA-LLB broadens horizons and opens up new professional opportunities. The opportunities range from corporate law to human rights activism. Exploring the extent of BA-LLB is more than just a legal adventure; it’s an intellectual journey. This program serves as a springboard for higher education, whether in specialized legal studies or multidisciplinary fields. Students who navigate this dynamic junction not only embrace the complexities of law but also position themselves as agents of social change.

The combination of the undergraduate program’s basic knowledge and the potential for further specialization through postgraduate courses puts BA-LLB graduates in a dynamic and satisfying career in the legal area.”

“There’s no more powerful team than two friends and colleagues who have mutual trust and respect for each other.” Director Abhishek Sinha and Nitesh Tiwari exemplify this, having won the hearts of many with their entertaining and inspiring film, ‘Tumse Naa Ho Paayega.’ Having worked together at an advertising agency their careers took different routes as they embarked to chase their own dreams. While Nitesh Tiwari delved into writing, directing and producing numerous films with his close associates, on the other hand, Abhishek Sinha honed his directorial abilities by directing impressive ad films and music videos such as ‘Tera Zikr’, ‘Hawa Banke,’ and ‘Main Kisi Aur Ka’ among others. However, fate had its own design to bring these two bright minds together.

Abhishek and Nitesh joined forces for the first time for Disney+Hotstar’s comedy-drama film ‘Tumse Naa Ho Paayega.’ Nitesh Tiwari, who co-wrote and co-produced the film, had Abhishek Sinha take on the directorial role. The movie revolves around friends involved in a business venture, mirroring their collaborative efforts. Nitesh believed in Abhishek’s vision, skill, and meticulous dedication to the craft, and entrusted his cherished project to him. The film not only received acclaim from critics but also made a lasting impression on the audience.

Director Abhishek Sinha shares insights into their collaborative journey in bringing ‘Tumse Na Ho Paayega’ to life, emphasizing the mutual trust and unconditional support they placed in each other which is also quite a prominent nuance displayed by the characters portrayed in the film. “When you have a very strong relationship with someone, there is no filter, there is a comfort you share, and then you professionally collaborate with those people. Nitesh and Ashwiny have not just been mentors, but are also family to me. When Nitesh asked me to direct ‘Tumse Na Ho Paayega,’ a movie which he and Nikhil Malhotra wrote, I was ecstatic! It certainly meant so much to receive this vote of confidence and honour from him.”

He further added, “When Nitesh offered the film to me, both Ashwiny and Nitesh believed in my work and the best part was that he told me while it was his film, I would have to make it like it is my film. They gave me that creative liberty and freedom. They trusted my vision and let me explore the film in the manner I wanted to.I feel truly privileged to have had the opportunity to collaborate with them and create something special for the viewers. It’s been an amazing journey, working together and bringing our ideas to life. Nitesh shared this funda about giving his ‘babies’ to others, where he says “If your film rocks, take all the credit. If it flops, take all the flak.” That kept me on my toes, making sure I gave it my best in every scene.”

‘Tum Se Na Ho Payega’ was released on Disney+Hotstar and has completed a successful 2+ month run. It is a fun, light-hearted take on the modern-day challenges faced by today’s youth, urging them to stand up to societal norms and pressures, while following their own paths and dreams. The film skillfully weaves humor into various facets of life, delivering a universally relatable experience. Produced by Roy Kapur Films, RSVP, Star Studios, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Nitesh Tiwari, and directed by Abhishek Sinha, ‘Tum Se Na Ho Payega’ is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
